Sprint to Build Own Metropolis
With Banks, Dry Cleaners, Zip Code

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- One of the country's most extraordinary corporate campuses is taking shape in this ordinary midwestern suburb.

Sprint Corp., the nation's third-largest long-distance company, is essentially building its own metropolis. Eighteen office buildings, encompassing 3.9 million square feet, will sprawl over 200 acres. Jogging trails will wind around two athletic fields and an 8-acre lake, shaded by some 6,000 trees.
